I looked up at him in surprise, and he said softly, "Let's stay outside for a few days." ”

I don't live in the inner courtyard

I subconsciously wanted to ask, but with his smiling face and those gentle eyes, I remembered the lively scene outside the gate today, as well as the busy people in the house, and seemed to understand.

After all, they're getting married.

I have been holding on to this lady's position and refusing to let it go, which probably has made Han Zitong very annoyed, if I still dominate this inner courtyard and refuse to let it go, I am afraid that they will treat me as a thorn in the flesh.

Thinking of this, I was about to ask again, but I said, "Okay." Let Caiwei pack up my things and take them with me. ”

"No, you don't."

"What"

"I've got it all for you."

“”

I looked up at him, then at my bed, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm still used to using my own things, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

When he heard this, he hesitated, but looked at my lowered, almost godless eyes, and immediately said, "All right." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at Cai Wei, and Cai Wei immediately took the order, went over to clean up, and then he turned to me and smiled, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm."

I followed him out of the door, and there was already a group of attendants waiting outside, and there was a large crowd of them, and they carried us out of the inner courtyard with bright lanterns, and after crossing the small bridge, and after a few steps, I found that he had taken me to his dwelling.

The qiē here is still the same as before.

I remember the time when I just came back from the sea, I insisted on sharing the room with him, he once came back here to live, it has been Han Zitong who ordered someone to clean up the room for him, and now it seems that there has been no break in here, and even when I walked in, I could smell the faint fragrance in the air, and the quilt was soft and dry, very comfortable.

After a while, Cai Wei came over with two little girls, and replaced the pillows and brocade quilts on the bed with the ones I was used to in the inner courtyard.

I stood by the bed, waiting for them to finish cleaning up, and then retreated, the door was closed, and then Pei Yuanxiu slowly walked behind me, reached out and gently touched my shoulder, and said softly: "Go to bed early." ”

“”

I was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't want to sleep yet." ”

"Why"

"Me"

"Is it because I slept too long in the afternoon, but now I am more energetic?"

Listening to his words with a smile and not seeming to be in a hurry to go to bed, I nodded: "Yes." ”

"In that case, then I won't sleep, I'll accompany you."

“”

I looked up at him, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart, although now his gentleness was like water, and the night was very quiet, as if nothing was going to happen, but nevertheless, in this room full of incense, I still felt a cold sweat pouring out, and after a while my palms were wet.

I was silent for a moment before I nodded, "Okay." ”

"Let's play a game of chess, how"

"Okay."

As soon as he gave the order, the attendants were at once busy, and in a short time a chessboard was set up in the small garden outside the house, and four little servants stood around with lanterns, and Cai Wei even brought hot tea.

Then, the two of us took up positions and started to get down.

He used to be the prince of the heavenly family, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is a compulsory course, and his chess skills are also quite exquisite, so from the beginning, he has been pressing me, speaking of which my chess skills are not bad, but tonight, for some reason, my heart has been uneasy, as if there is a thread involved in my heart, so that I can never be quiet, several mistakes, after a while, the general trend on the chessboard has gone.

However, although he has been pressing me, he has never really swallowed me, but has been slowing down the situation so that I can breathe, but once I start to lay out, he will immediately suppress me and make it impossible for me to perform.

This feeling, from the beginning of playing chess, to the present.

The attendants and maids who served next to me may not be able to see the doorway on the chessboard, looking at the two of us leisurely, smiling lightly, one with a heavy face and shortness of breath, and probably can see who wins and who loses, I only feel that playing this game of chess, his breathing is stifled by him, and it is more and more difficult, and when he falls again, almost the general trend has been decided, I said softly: "It seems that I am going to chess." ”

He looked up at me: "No more"

"I can't win anyway."

"Not necessarily."

"Hmm"

He smiled and pointed to a corner of the chessboard: "This place, there is still a glimmer of life, you don't give it a try"

I looked there, and it was true that it had not completely fallen into his control, but when he pointed it out, it didn't feel like it hadn't fallen into his control, but more like he deliberately left it to me, and the feeling was even more boring, and I said lightly: "But it's hard for me to turn the tables around." ”

"How do you know without giving it a try"

“”

He smiled, reached out and picked one from my chess basket and handed it to me: "Come on." ”

I looked at him, then at the corner of the life, thought for a long time, finally sighed lightly, and slowly put the piece on the chessboard.

He smiled.

In this way, the two sides regained their strength and went to the battlefield again.

This time, I cheered up a little and paid more attention to the chessboard, and after a while, I really regained a lot of lost ground, so that the situation turned around a little, and I breathed a little easier, and even my expression became a little lighter.

Seeing me like this, the attendants and maids around me, who had been afraid to speak out, seemed to be relieved.

Seeing that I was already about to start turning back to outflank his little dragon, as long as this piece fell, then this place would be recovered, and the whole situation on the chessboard would be reversed because of this, just when I picked up the chess piece, I took a final look, and it was almost time to fall, but at the last moment, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the night wind.

In such a quiet night, the sudden scream was like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, and the wolf howl of the abyss made people's hearts throb suddenly, my hand shook, and the chess pieces fell with a click, just in the position where I was about to fall into chess.

Oops

I sighed in my heart, but I didn't know whether it was the bad situation on the chessboard or the uneasiness caused by the scream, and when I looked up, I heard a commotion, more like the sound of a fight in the night wind.

My heart pounded.

The place where these voices came from was the direction of the inner courtyard

At this moment, my heart stopped, my face suddenly turned pale, and even the attendants around me were startled, and even one of the timid ones kept trembling, and the lanterns shook in the wind again. Cai Wei was also very uneasy, standing next to her with hot tea, looking at me and at Pei Yuanhao.

And he sat opposite me, still smiling on his face, picked up a chess piece from the chess basket, and said softly: "This step is not right." ”

“”

It's already felt.

This move seems to be the only way for me to save the situation and outflank him, but when I look at the whole situation, I have completely trapped myself in his trap, if there may be a glimmer of life just now, then at this moment, I don't even have a chance to turn over.

In the silence of the night in the distance, the sound of swords clashing could be heard.

I listened to those sharp sounds, one by one, as if in my ears, and the originally quiet atmosphere of the whole house was swept away at this moment.

He smiled and dropped a son.

"Ahh

Another scream came from the inner courtyard.

This time, the timid attendant was so frightened that he took several steps back one after another, and almost fell to the ground, but the attendant next to him immediately stepped forward: "Childe, there seems to be an accident in the inner courtyard." Childe, do you want to avoid it?"

It's not far from the inner courtyard, and if something happens there, it could also cause trouble here.

My cold sweat was already slowly flowing down my forehead, and suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of me, but it was Pei Yuanxiu who was holding a handkerchief, reaching over and carefully wiping my sweat, when I raised my head to look at him, he still smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the chessboard again: "Go on." ”

“”

That being said, at this time, where was I still in the mood to play chess, watching the interlacing of black and white on the chessboard, almost my whole person, my whole mind was confused, and the sound of those fights in the night finally calmed down after the most intense noise.

But I couldn't calm down at all.

The two of them, facing an endgame that could no longer be turned over, after a while, they heard a rush of footsteps outside, and a fierce guard with a long knife in his hand, strode in, stopped a few steps away from us, bowed his hand, and said: "Childe, the thief who sneaked into the inner courtyard has been taken"

Pei Yuanxiu slowly picked up a teacup at this time, took a sip, and said, "How many are there?"

"There were five who infiltrated the inner courtyard, four were beheaded by their subordinates, and one remained, who was also seriously injured. His subordinates captured him for interrogation. ”

I choked my breath and looked at him in horror.

Pei Yuanxiu said lightly: "There is no need to interrogate." ”

“”

My heart sank, but before I could say anything, the guard had already said yes, and waved at the people outside.

I heard a knife falling outside, and something fell heavily to the ground.

He put the teacup back on the table, looked at the game on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "It seems that this game is already difficult to turn over, let's go." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand: "All stand down." ”

The attendants took the order, and they all retreated, and Cai Wei was obviously frightened, and staggered when she walked out, and almost fell to the door, while I sat in my place, sweating profusely, and my face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

At this time, he got up and walked to my side, leaned down, and said softly, "It's late at night." ”
